Folks in #Atlanta Won’t Accept ‘#CopCity’

#HBCU students, faculty, and community activists have joined forces to stop the environmentally destructive police training facility.

"#Environmental activists have long raised concerns about 'Cop City' due to its potential #ecological impact. The facility is slated to be built in the #WeelauneeForest (South River), a tract of undeveloped #forested land that serves as an essential #GreenSpace and #CarbonSink for the city. Activists say losing this green space would contribute to increased #AirPollution, decreased #biodiversity, and the exacerbation of #ClimateChange.

"Along with concern about the environmental impact, opposition to 'Cop City' from the #Black community also stems from fears of racial profiling, over-policing, and strained police-community relations. Critics argue that the allocated funds should be redirected to address systemic issues affecting Black residents, such as education and community development, rather than expanding policing resources."

Solidarity and rage for those charged with felonies for flyers, all those charges for defending the forest, and for the murder of Tort. May this murderer find no peace, not even in his hometown of Miami.
